Top Gun: Maverick is the reason why I go to the movies and why Tom Cruise is the biggest movie star in the world. WHAT. A RIDE.

Maverick dished out generous amounts of bromance, action, and a truly-immersive narrative in swashbuckling style, and Cruise’s iconic grin was still the greatest thing to take away from it.

It is all of the flying sequences that are shot in such a way that it makes the moviegoer feel like they are a passenger that gives the movie its energy and makes it so much fun.

SPECTACULAR! One of the best cinematic experiences I have truly ever had in a theater. Heartfelt, exhilarating & down right emotional. Tom Cruise turns in one of his best performances & Top Gun 2 becomes one of his best films in his Career.

The return of pure, nostalgic blockbusters. The best aerial action sequences ever amaze even the highest expectations, not only due to the absolutely insane real stunts but largely because of the flawless contribution of all filmmaking elements.

The final scenes are truly nail biting, with intense flight sequences that result in Tom Cruise’s cast members going from nearly unknown performers, to A-list stars in a matter of minutes.

Top Gun: Maverick is the rare sequel that elevates its source material and creates a new, worthwhile story. A high-octane thrill ride that celebrates where Maverick's been and where he’s going.

Full Review | Jul 25, 2023

The film is pure ideology, pure militarism, generic, and like the first Top Gun in 1986, undemanding.

Women in Top Gun: Maverick don’t see much development, but written dialogue and camerawork treat them with respect.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Mar 6, 2023

There’s no reason in the world it should have worked, but it does.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Feb 21, 2023

A movie-movie with an old-school movie star, this actioner is best seen in theatres, where the dazzling fighter-jet sequences will make you dizzy.

All of these elements come together to form one of the biggest third acts in recent cinema.

Full Review | Original Score: A- | Feb 10, 2023

While other actors disappear behind their roles, Tom Cruise wants you to know it's him. This movie uses all of its technical marvel to bring us back to an adrenaline-filled formula blockbuster full of emotion. Made for the movies. [Full review in Spanish]

Top Gun: Maverick is a little bloated at times and could have used a bit of trimming, especially in its third act, but there’s no denying the magnetic energy the film brings to the viewer.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 6, 2023

"It’s a valid critical interpretation that Top Gun: Maverick is merely propaganda wrapped in a very pretty bow. But boy, that bow is really something."

Its a sure-footed performance from an actor that never fails to hold the attention of its audience.

A big jingoistic cartoon. But it’s a fun jingoistic cartoon...
